Good books on Frugal Living?

[twinmommyboyz]

I am reading 10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget by the writers of wise bread. ISBN-10: 1-60239-704-x or ISBN-13: 978-1-60239-704-0. It is mainly made up of bloggers that are frugal. I checked it out at the library, but I can't wait to look for the books you all suggested. THANKS!!

Don't forget about Possum Living! It can be found for free here: http://web.archive.org/web/200709290...ssumliving.htm

i seem to find some sort of book at goodwill to read. the tightwad gazette is still my favorite. i have another large book (i mean big) called "country living"...which pretty much tells you how to grow just about anything, raise animals and build cages/pens for them and how to make food items.

MOM - Now I want to go to Goodwill and look at books! I'd enjoy that Country Living book.

I've read Tightwad Gazette, but I'm anxious to read some of these others.

i have one DR books and Americas Cheapest Family...I really think 1-2 good financial books is all you need because things start to get redundant.

The Hard Times Handbook by Sarah Autry.

Lots of recipes. There are tips on how to "stretch" food, and a few recipes that one can use if they have only a small amount of food/ingredients.

In fact, the first half of the book is about food.

I splurged and bought a copy on Amazon. It is about twenty-eight dollars...I would recommend checking it out from the library.

I borrowed this one from the library:
How to Shop for Free: Shopping Secrets for Smart Women Who Love to Get Something for Nothing by Kathy Spencer and Samantha Rose

And what I liked most was that it went into some detail about couponing at mall stores like Gymboree.

Problem I have found with most of the books is how quickly the coupon world changes - which is why an online resource (gee such as this one!) is more helpful.

Have you read the Foxfire books? They are similar to the "Country Living" books.
